When considering several different locations for a family-style restaurant, the highest priority would be the number and characteristics of similar restaurants in each area, since the restaurant will be competing with existing restaurants. The proximity of schools, libraries, and other public buildings (A) is of importance, since those institutions could generate potential customers, but that factor would be of a lower priority, as would the focus of media outlets (B) and the proximity of supermarkets and other sources of supplies (C).
